The sweet flavor of caramelized onion pairs beautifully with Asiago cheese in this delectable appetizer Ingredients:
2 teaspoons olive oil |
1 medium onion, thinly sliced |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/8 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme |
1/3 cup fat-free ricotta cheese |
1/4 cup (1 ounce) shredded asiago cheese |
1/4 teaspoon minced garlic |
dash of freshly ground black pepper |
2 (6-inch) pitas |
cooking spray |
Directions:
1. Prepare grill.
2. Heat oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onion, sugar, and salt; sauté 3 minutes. Reduce heat to medium- low, and cook 20 minutes or until very golden brown, stirring frequently. Stir in 1/2 teaspoon thyme.
3. Combine ricotta cheese, Asiago cheese, garlic, and pepper; stir well. Set aside.
4. Coat pitas with cooking spray. Place on grill rack; cover and grill 2 minutes on each side or just until crisp. Remove pitas from grill. Spread cheese mixture evenly over warm pitas; top evenly with caramelized onion.
